Wow, that's some surprising acknowledgement from one of the Kid's not so favorite fans...

Oddly enough, I was just starting to think the opposite over the last couple of weeks. I was starting to think that KG was probably the MVP front runner at this point. Especially now that Shaq's decided to finally step up and get involved with things, to the point where the spotlight isn't quite as focused on Kobe now, not to mention his stats have fallen off quite a lot since his 40 point streak ended a few weeks ago. But yeah, T-Mac and Duncan should definitely make a good battle for third place though...

I still think the Lakers will slip past the Wolves for that 5 spot though. Hopefully the Blazers will find another way to internally combust as well. They ALWAYS find a way to fall apart late in the season.

Heck, even Brent's boys in the East are makin' a move, now that all the heavy weights out there have been sliding dramatically out there over the past month. I'd still love to rekindle that old Lakers vs. Celtics rivalry! I guess that tomorrow night will do for now though.

See you tomorrow Morgbug! You KNOW what's going to be waiting in here for you when you arrive... Don't chicken out on me now...

Hey there, I won't chicken out, I'll just happen to be on an airplane on my way to Madison. I may not be able to come in here for a couple of days to heap the abuse on to you that you will so richly deserve, so hopefully Scott will be a temporary Celtics fan for me tomorrow.

No way! You've got to throw in your Canadian Dagobah Vader with the Luke reveal sticker as well, if you want me to take that bet. My wife for just a poster... Sheesh! You Canuckleheads just think you can get away with anything, dontchya?!

Convenient timing on your out of town trip there Brent. I suppose you planned your flight so you'd be in the air as all of the nasty business was going down courtesy of my boys, right? Even more chicken than I thought...

Madison, huh? Scott, why don't you tell Brent here what kind of stuff they like to do in Wisconsin... Uh, actually, maybe not... Isn't Wayne from Wisconsin, or is he just a Packers fan? Can't recall right now...

Anyways, don't forget to pick yourself up some nice Stateside SW souvenirs Brent! You have already mapped out all of the TRUs, Targets, WMs, and KBs in the area, right?
